مقدمه: با تقویت سازوکارهای نظام راهبری شرکتی می‌‌توان مدیران را به افشای موارد بیش‌تری از مسئولیت خود نسبت به جامعه تشویق کرد. هم‌چنین، افشای بیش‌تر مسئولیت‌پذیری اجتماعی به‌وسیله شرکت‌ها، می‌تواند منجر به بالابردن سطح پاسخ‌گویی مدیران شرکت شود که این موضوع موجب تقویت سازوکارهای نظام راهبری­ شرکتی خواهد شد. بنابراین، می‌توان بیان کرد که بین نظام راهبری شرکتی و مسئولیت‌پذیری اجتماعی شرکت‌ها رابطه‌ای دوطرفه وجود دارد.
روش پژوهش: پژوهش حاضر کاربردی، از نظر منطق، استقرایی و از نظر بُعد زمانی، گذشته‌نگر است. جامعه آماری پژوهش شامل کلیه شرکت‌های پذیرفته‌شده در بورس اوراق بهادار تهران در بازه‌ی زمانی 1394-1390 است. از آن جا که هدف پژوهش حاضر بررسی رابطه متقابل بین متغیرهاست از آزمون‌ تشخیص‌پذیری و تحلیل نتایج با استفاده از معادلات هم‌زمان استفاده شده است.
یافته‌ها: نتایج پژوهش نشان می‌دهد که نظام راهبری شرکتی تأثیر مثبت و معناداری بر مسئولیت‌پذیری اجتماعی و مسئولیت‌پذیری اجتماعی نیز تأثیر مثبت و معناداری بر نظام راهبری شرکتی دارد.
نتیجه‌گیری: شرکت‌ها برای ارسال علامت مثبت به بازار سرمایه می‌توانند نظام راهبری شرکتی خود را تقویت کنند که این امر موجب بهبود مسئولیت‌پذیری اجتماعی آن‌ها خواهد شد. هم‌چنین، با افشای بیشتر مسئولیت‌پذیری اجتماعی و افزایش انتظار از آن‌ها، باید نظام راهبری شرکتی را تقویت کنند تا بتوانند سطح پاسخ‌گویی مناسبی داشته باشند.
